To put my comment about "denying the gods their power" a bit into perspective, I mostly offered this as an interpretation to placate Intrepids view of the world (and the gods). If you perceive XP and reputation as an addiction/detractive to you, all respect to you for recognizing it and taking the steps to eliminate that influence !

I thought that your step was somewhat of an outcry to be noticed in general, but as you say, if you want to remove the game aspect from your posts and your presence on this site, your steps are most certainly steps in the right direction, although I would have simply taken the approach of petitioning the gods directly.

I hope you'll stay with the monastery and still find it a place to share knowledge.
